Cadillac teased one of the first uncamouflaged, exterior images of the V-Series
Blackwing vehicles, showcasing a tight shot of the cars’ exclusive magnesium wheels. These vehicles will be the only GM products to offer magnesium wheels in the near future.

The wheels shown in the image will be optional on the 2022 CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V
Blackwing.

Inspired by the championship winning Cadillac DPi-V.R race car, magnesium
wheels help reduce the unsprung weight of the vehicle, improving ride and handling, and
thereby, the overall driver experience. Magnesium has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of all commonly available metals, according to MagnesiumWheels.com.
The CT4-V Blackwing and CT5-V Blackwing will be available 1 starting at the end of 2021.
